You need to contact the health authorities in the Bundesland where you want to work to find out if they accept your US training and what tests or papers they need. Normally you will have to have the same amount of hours in theory and practical nursin...

Urkunde= Diploma, so yes it's the RN (good old fashioned diploma), 2 years further training used to get you a certificate, that would state your further training. I heard there are some university based courses now available, but I'm not uptodate any...

You can only practice as an RN in the Province where you are registered. So if you want to practice in Ontario you have to apply there. While CRNE is Canada wide, registration is not. And it's not an easy transfer either, costs a lot of money and tak...

I don't know how high I scored, good enough not to need any upgrading, that's all I know. 5cats

First of all you need to make sure that your education will be recognized. You need to contact the Swiss Red Cross and find out, plus your language depending on where you plan to live and work in Switzerland has to be sufficient (just be aware in the...

I would not even consider nursing school there if your language is not sufficient, you could still write them an email and figure their answer out (dictionary). Another issue in Switzerland: they speak dialect= swiss german there, tricky to understan...

check Welcome Page | Page d'accueil You can only apply without the experience in case you have arranged employment. No other way around it, and it has to be full time PAID experience or the equivalent in part time. 5cats

There are several threads discussing your problem here. Biggest issue is that LPN programs are not recognized in the Philippines and so you cannot get a licence, what leads to the question of quality. The main reason why people are considering it any...

Try to contact the swiss nursing association http://www.sbk-asi.ch they should have all the info you need. There used to be a master and I believe a bachelor program, but just keep in mind that the system is different compared to the US. When I left ...

We had a unit clerk during the day (8-4) and sometime assistants who would stock up and do vitals and stuff (for the HDU high dependy unit), or the floater would do that. I found it easier to work with RN's only in that unit, but maybe we also had ba...

Everybody is interviewed though, no? So then the employer can find out if your english is sufficient enough, plus many people do speak dialect depending on where they are from, so even if your english is fluent you might have trouble understanding so...

I worked in an ICU in England and our ratio was 1:1 for ventilated Patients, and 1:2 for non ventilated. I think in many ICU's in the US you have a much harder workload, but I must also say, in England the ICU nurse does everything, no RT's and whats...

Only in the north, lol In Switzerland you will hear swiss german and Austria also has it's dialects. You could look at www.krankenschwester.de - Online Community und Forum für Pflegeberufe for information It's a german site where you could practice y...

5 years is a long time, hard to make plans for such a long timeframe, but... I loved England, who knows, if the payment would have been better compared to the extremely high costs of living, maybe I would have stayed, the weather sucks though, all th...

No, nonsense, nursing education in Germany is in german, nothing else would make sense. You pay nothing to go to nursing school. it's hospital affiliated, so you find an employer who is willing to invest in your training, it's a paid apprenticeship s...

Plus paying those ridiculous agency fees, how are you paying those back? For a room alone you pay several 100 £ (I paid 350 several years ago). 5cats

A lot of people don't even read the info that is available allready, I'm not sure if the OP did that, so I mentioned sites that are available and were to get the info from, I think that is offering help. I and many others went through the whole procc...

Sorry no clue on that one, best way to find out pay the fee and see what they say. 5cats

Chances for a job as an IEN are so poor right now, I wouldn't worry about the waiting time at all. Plus the experience in my health region is so poor, there would be an outcry if they would hire anymore applicants from outside Canada, especially the ...

Your professional credentials have nothing to do with your legal status there, doesn't matter if you will be married to a german citizen, you still have to go through the process of getting your education assessed and recognized, if you want to work ...

Do speak one of the swiss languages? Are you aware that swiss german is a dialect not easy to understand with school german? You have to contact the swiss red cross to find out if your education is equal and accepted there, if yes and language is not...

So what? What's the purpose if your post? To show that it's not all paradise to work in the US? To annoy people that would be happy to have your job, since they have none? If you are not happy in your job, get a different one. 5cats

I actually found the information on the cic website very clear and easy to understand, what is so confusing for you? Or is the process of getting registered confusing to you? But those steps are also outlined very clear often online on each provinces...

I don't think the chance is the same, canadian grads would be preferred, especially since the experience with IEN's hasn't been good in all healthregions. And the newgrads are struggling right now to find a job. 5cats
